-==IC: Amelia Zann==-- Sina sniffed the air, then looked up, scampering back to her lazing Trainer. "Snee," it whined, nudging Amelia away from her daydreams. "Sina? What is it, girl?" A tall figure stepped into the alleyway, his identity obscured by the harsh angle of sunlight. "Excuse me." "Hm?" Amelia jumped to her feet, hand hovering innocently near her pocket, where her other Pokéballs resided. "Something you wanted?" "Huh? Oh. Well, no. Yes, actually. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you, but since you're here--we're looking for people and Pokémon to help building the new seaport facility. If you're interested...?" "No thanks." Amelia sat back down and leaned against the wall, crossing her arms behind her head. "Huh?" "I said no thanks." Sina joined the man in giving Amelia a strange look. "But...why not?" the man asked. Amelia gave him a contemptuous look. "Look. You want someone to sneak around, find stuff that's not supposed to be found, I'm your girl. You want secrets? I know plenty. But boring stuff? That's beneath me. I leave that to boring people." The man clenched his fists and growled, but Sina responded by spreading her razor-sharp claws. Thinking better of tangling with the Sneasel--particularly such a strange-looking one--and not wanting to tire his own Pokémon, he stormed off in a huff. Sina shot Ameila a withering look. "What?" Amelia replied. "It's the truth." The Sneasel shook its head and went back to rummaging. OOC: Open for interaction, by the way, if that wasn't clear--if you can stand her.

-==IC: Amanda Zarth==- Amanda frowns as Ray separates from the group, but makes no comment upon it. "Team Plasma recognizes the necessity of preserving a valuable asset. Your death, especially on Unovan soil, would provoke great instability. That is not acceptable." That was when she noticed the Darkrai. She straightened, allowing the camera in her pendant to capture the four ancient beings. "Miss Jupiter, it is more imperative than ever we get you to safety, while teleportation is still an option." Her thumb twitched, marginally, as she prepared to release a Pokémon if Jupiter did not accept. -==IC: Amelia Zann==- [The Third] Amelia Zann was bored. "I'm bored," she complained, rather unnecessarily, to the world in general. A pink Sneasel nearby poked its head up from its rummaging to grunt in agreement. To be fair to the universe, the alley they sat in--on the northern side of Lilycove City--was not the most likely place for woman or Pokémon to find excitement. Still, it offered shade from the hot summer sun, as well as a few dumpsters in which Sneasel might search for shiny things. "I wish some time-traveler would show up in a blue box to take me on adventures," she complained, a recurring fantasy she often expressed when alone. Which was all the time, really. She glanced to either end of the alley and straight above her, as if stating her wish yet again would somehow make it true, but alas, it did not. She sighed, attracting the Sheasel's attention. The Sneasel climbed out of the dumpster and sniffed the air gingerly, before nudging its Trainer toward the end of the alley. Amelia chuckled, her flippant tone indicating she was repeating some other individual's oft-repeated admonition. "You want to battle? We're spies, Sina. We're not supposed to be seen, let alone have big, flashy Pokémon b--" The woman was interrupted by a Pokéball wobbling in her pocket. She pulled the Premiere Ball out and lazily threw it into the air, releasing the Larvitar inside. "What do you think, Harvey?" she remarked, clearly knowing what the answer would be. The little green reptile didn't seem to realize this, however. Squeaking and flailing its arms furiously, it ran between Sina and the end of the alley, blocking the way with Stealth Rock. Amelia laughed, at least momentarily amused. "All right, little guy, we get the message," she said, returning the Pokémon to its ball. "You've got a point--the reconstruction workers don't need us distracting them with battles. And besides," she added jokingly, "I don't think Van wants to battle, either." A rumbling from Van's Pokéball gave obvious proof of the statement's falsehood, but she chose not to release the turquoise-and-green Carvanha from the protective sphere--even in the humidity of Hoenn's coastal regions, she preferred not to let her out on dry land unless absolutely needed for a battle. Amelia sighed and leaned back, bored again. Amusing herself by tossing Sina's currently-unoccupied Pokéball in the air and catching it over and over, she nods to the Sneasel. "Keep an eye on what's going on out there," she orders. "Tell me if anything interesting happens.

FC in my sig, I'll add you later tonight. So, thanks to the Pokémon RPG we have, I've started watching the Pokémon movies. I have to say, The First Movie, when watched after seeing the cut introduction, was very good, as was (surprisingly) Spell of the Unown. The Power of One and Voice of the Forest were both all right, but a little "eh" at times, as was the TV special Mewtwo Returns. I am in love with Pokémon Heroes. 'Nuff said. However...I've just finished watching Jirachi: Wish Maker. Mata Nui, what a disappointment. I only watched it through because...I actually don't know. I think it was so it wouldn't bug me that I didn't finish what I started, but it was NOT enjoyable. My question to you now is: which movies should I watch from here? I mean, I don't mind sitting through something of Power of One or Voice of the Forest's caliber, but I do NOT want to have to suffer through another Wish Maker. Which ones do I watch, which ones do I avoid, and is there any non-chronological order I should be watching them in (a la the machete order for Star Wars)?

Yeah, now that I'm a little less busy I can try to make it a habit to hang out more in the wiki chat. To be fair, my fourth character (Alex) would probably get along well with Jamie, and their similar experiences with labs and medicine would be a great way to coax out some development for both...but I need my characters introduced in order for specific, spoilery reasons.

Because Dark was crazy OP in Gen III and so was Tyranitaur (not as much so as Salamence, but still ). Also Dark is cooler than Dragon.

Get something to set up Stealth Rock. That'll deal with Talonflame pretty quick, and entry hazards are super important in competitive anyway. If you can get SR AND Sticky Web, all the better.

Yeah. Well, Water Absorb is fantastic in Colosseum/multi-battles (doubles/triples), less so otherwise.

Azumarill is totally overused, but for a reason--it hits hard, and has fantastic typing. Slap Aqua Jet and Play Rough on a Huge Power Azumarill and the world is your oyster (for most things, anyway). It's not invincible, but it's quite scary.

Alright, I'll add you. My FC is also in my sig. Added. I'll throw X in there and hop online so we can get each others' third 'mons, but I'll only be up for about 30 more minutes.

PC version can be modded?

I have an Electabuzz safari, though I probably won't be online until next weekend (busy week ahead). FC is in my sig.

Honestly, I actually prefer their regular forms. Yveltal looks kinda cool, I guess, but I still like the original better.

I'll be there, at least. (I'll try to hang out throughout the day, though I may or may not be available during the evening.) EDIT: anyone else having issues with the Wiki not wanting to load?

OOC: Lord, this is long. Consider this an IC post for my first character, whose name will be revealed below. Also, pretend this happened a few days ago, so he's had time to get to Eterna City by now. [The First] ==Present Day== The sound of his boots on the pebbled beach. Now there was a sound he hadn't heard in a long time. Nearly a decade, in fact. But he remembered it well, just as well as when he'd first heard it five years before that day... ==Twelve Years Ago== "Hello there, sir, you seem to be lost. Might I be of assistance?" The young man looked up, seeing an elderly man in a blue shirt and a long brown coat looking out across the water. He had no idea how long the man had been watching him--so lost had he been in the crunch-crunch of boots on pebbles that he'd hardly noticed the presence of a town along this section of shore. "Lost--that's a good word for it," he replied, "but I doubt there's any way you could help." The older man approached, and now the young man could see the small briefcase he carried with him. "Well, perhaps you could help me, then. I was supposed to meet someone here to compare notes on our research, but he hasn't arrived yet. You wouldn't happen to have seen a boat out across the water while you were walking, would you?" The young man shook his head, but the old man seemed undeterred. "Ah, well. My name is Rowan. However, everyone just calls me the Pokémon Professor. I conduct research on Pokémon evolution here in Sinnoh. Hmm...I take it from your dress that you're not from around here?" The young man looks down at himself, the loose cut of his leather coat and olive pants standing in stark contrast to the clean, businesslike look of the professor's. Further along the shore, some children played, bundled in knit caps and scarves on this overcast day. The young man nods, seeing no reason--nor way--to hide his foreign origins. "Tell me, what is your name?" ==Present Day== As he walked into town, a beam of light pierces the fog, followed shortly by the Policewoman whose flashlight had created it. The whoosh of feathers sounded overhead, and a moment later a large Noctowl had landed behind him, gauging him intently with its large, almost luminous eyes. "Excuse me, Trainer, but who are you?" ==Twelve Years Ago== "A.Z." "A-Z...Your name is 'As'?" "...my initials. If you must have it, my name is..." ==Present Day== "...Adam Zynthic." "And what are you doing, wandering this place at this hour?" "I live here." "In Sangdem?" The officer stopped writing momentarily, giving Adam an incredulous look. "Eterna City." "Really. For how long?" "Twelve years..." ==Twelve Years Ago== "If I may ask, Adam, how long have you been walking?" "A while." "And where from, might I ask?" "..." "...Hm. Is this your first time in Sinnoh? If you need advice, I'm certainly capable of giving it." "Thanks. But it's time I moved on." Turning from the Pokémon Professor, Adam started walking up the beach toward Sangdem Town. ==Present Day== Mirroring the events of the past, Adam abruptly resumed his advance north. The policewoman followed, her Noctowl taking to the sky once more. "It's not safe to be wandering these parts at this hour, sir, especially in this weather. At least we don't have to worry about the war anymore, but our whole ecosystem's been upset by everything that's happened. The Pokémon--" Without missing a beat, Adam withdrew a Pokéball from his coat, releasing a Grotle that began walking impassively at his side. "I appreciate the concern, but we'll be fine." He holds the coat open, indicating two more Pokéballs stored inside. ==Twelve Years Ago== As Adam approached the foot of Route 202, the Pokémon Professor hurried to catch up to him. "Hold it! Where do you think you're going?!" "Honestly? I have no idea. On, I suppose." "But you don't seem to have any Pokémon, do you?" At Adam's shrug, Rowan shakes his head. "Well, you're not going to get very far without a Pokémon to protect you." Rowan quickly opened his briefcase, rummaging around inside for something. "You're a bit old for this, but I simply can't let you wander off unprotected. Heaven only knows how you made it this far without any Pokémon... Ah, here it is. Now--Piplup, Chimchar, or Turtwig?" Adam cocks his head, unfamiliar with the names. "Turtwig?" he asks incredulously, his eyebrow raised. Mistaking the question for a choice, Rowan extracts a Pokéball from the briefcase and throws it to Adam. Adam instinctively catches it, his thumb brushing the button and releasing the Pokémon inside. Suddenly, a large, green turtle-like creature fills his arms. "There you go," Rowan says. "A grass-type--and an especially faithful one at that. At least now I can rest easy knowing you'll be safe, wherever it is you're headed." "Huh. It's no Chespin..." The little Pokémon croons, and for the first time a hint of a smile appears on the young man's face. He sets the little creature down. "You'll do fine. C'mon, Wiggy." He turns and resumes his walk toward the road as Rowan calls after him. "If you have any trouble, come see me at my lab here in Sangdem Town. In fact, you're welcome to stay a while now, if you'd like." Adam stops and looks back at the Pokémon Professor, Wiggy following his new Trainer's lead. "Thanks, Professor. But like I said, it's time I moved on." He resumes walking, adding, "Maybe next time," before Pokémon and Trainer disappear into the underbrush. ==Seven Years Ago== "...Hm. Good as it is to hear from you again, Adam, you seem to have taken the 'trouble' part of my invitation too literally. I would have been happy just to see you and your Wiggy again." "Please, Professor, we discussed this in Veilstone--there's nothing wrong with Galactic, they're just not my style." "Then why are you leaving Sinnoh? Hm?" "Remember what I told you, all those years ago? The war's heating up, and if I stick around...I'm not a soldier. I don't want to be strong. I just want to be free." "My offer still stands, you know. I'd be happy for a new assistant, particularly one who cares for his Pokémon as much as you do." "Thanks...but it's time I moved on." Rowan sits in his chair, fingers steepled. "Hmm...Well, if you're sure..." He stands up and goes to his desk, retrieving his briefcase and opening it. "Professor--" "Hm! We exist side by side with Pokémon. Just as there comes a time when people should meet Pokémon, there comes a time when Pokémon need to meet people." He extracts two Pokéballs from the briefcase, holding them both in one hand as he displays them to the Trainer. "These two have been waiting for the right Trainer for some time. There is a world that should be explored together. For them, today is that time. The Trainer, right here. The place...well, that part's up to you." The Grotle Wiggy grunts, nudging Adam closer to the Professor. With a glance at his companion, Adam reluctantly accepts the gift. "Thanks, I guess." Storing the balls in one of his overlarge coat pockets, he extends a hand to the aged Professor who takes it gladly. "Goodbye, Professor Rowan." As the pair walk out the door of the laboratory, Rowan sighs. "Goodbye, Adam. And good luck." ==Present Day== "Sir, I'm just trying to look out for your safety, like I look out for the safety of any other civilian. Please don't make my job any more difficult than it has to be." Adam stops. "Officer, I understand, but really, I'm fine. We don't need your help." "Please, sir, just stay in the Pokémon Center, just until the sun's up. I know you think you can handle yourself, but Jubilife's been busy with the rebuilding efforts, so they haven't been able to do much to keep the routes safe. That makes it my turf, and I don't want anyone getting hurt on my watch." The young woman's concern was palpable. Adam pauses, before delivering the line he'd used so many times in this town. "Thanks...but it's time I moved on." And just as he'd done twelve years ago, he and Wiggy vanished into the underbrush, not once looking back.

I wouldn't mind having another one this weekend, honestly. It was very helpful in helping me understand the world of RotR, and the discussion gave me a lot of material I can now use to determine who I want to introduce some of my characters to. Also, it introduced me to the first Pokemon movie, and that is awesome.

EDIT: Earlier question was moot. Profiles: Adam Zynthic Profile Username: Flipz Name: Adam Zynthic Gender: Male Faction: N/A Hometown: Unknown (adopted hometown: Eterna City) Age: 28 Appearance: Worn and homeless, his already black hair is stained nearly brown with dust and dirt and grime and has become dry and stringy. Dark azure eyes. Wears a leather coat not unlike AZ's, but no hat. Carries his belongings in a frayed haversack and occasionally a bindle. Olive cargo pants, though the pockets have enough holes that they might as well be jeans for all they can carry. Prominently wears a Capture Styler on his belt from his days as a Ranger in Almia and Fiore before coming back to Sinnoh. Personality: A strong trainer who rarely speaks, his eyes carrying the lostness and weight of rejection. Once offered a place in Team Galactic, but turned it down--not because of moral opposition, but because he didn't want greatness. Background: *The Story so far: Having returned to Sinnoh from his wanderings in Almia and Fiore, Adam finds the land recovering from the ravages of war. With most of his friends in Team Galactic dead, he turns to seeking the only friends he knows will never betray or desert him: Pokémon. Equipment: Capture Styler (broken beyond repair) Pokémon: Grotle, Chimchar, Piplup Species: Grotle Nickname: Wiggy Gender: Male Trainer: Adam Zynthic Appearance: Wrinkled and a little pale of leaf, he shows his age. Some of it's merely lack of grooming and care for physical appearance, however--to underestimate this ancient powerhouse would be a grave mistake. Though his knees are dry and cracked and his scales crooked and shedding, his eyes belie his hidden vitality. Personality: Old and dependable, Adam has owned Wiggy far longer than he has any of his other Pokemon. A true partner, Adam never returns Wiggy to his Pokeball, save for emergencies. Wiggy has remained a Grotle for some time even after he had the opportunity to evolve, because, like his Trainer, he never sought power. Ability: Overgrow Speciality: Unlike most members of his species, Wiggy is equally proficient with Special and Physical moves; his overall power with them suffers a little, though. He's also slow, due to his relatively old age. Known Moves: Earth Power (egg move), Mega Drain, Grassy Terrain (egg move), Seed Bomb (egg move), Bite, Razor Leaf Experience: 10 Species: Chimchar Nickname: Charlie Gender: Male Trainer: Adam Zynthic Appearance: Charlie looks like any other Chimchar, except he often gets into blue paint and dye, placing two crossing handprints across his chest as a sort of warpaint (and leaving his palms and fingers stained blue). Normally it would have been left to fade, but after the last incident of dye theft, Adam returned him to his Pokeball and has not called on him since; thus, the markings are still quite fresh. Personality: Proud and reckless, Chimchar has a tendency to come out of his Pokeball for a fight even when he's not called out (or even wanted). In spite of this enthusiasm, he has poor luck, which is how he got his nickname. Ability: Iron Fist Speciality: Charlie actually has an excellent eye for art, allowing him to create visually pleasing artworks as well as letting him notice designs, patterns, and other hidden things others wouldn't. He's very bad at listening and communicating, however. Known Moves: Thunder Punch (egg move), Fire Punch (egg move), Taunt, Slack Off, Scratch, Fury Swipes Experience: 5 Species: Piplup Nickname: Pippi Gender: Female Trainer: Adam Zynthic Appearance: Pippi is shiny. No, she isn't alternately-colored, rather due to her constant preening and bathing she's easily be described as "shiny" in a different sense. Personality: Of the trio of Alex's Pokemon, Pippi is the only one who cares in the slightest about cleanliness; even if she could learn the move Muddy Water, she'd refuse to do it. Mud Sport, for her, is a move of last resort, and even then it will always be followed by a Water-type move (usually Aqua Ring) to clean herself off, regardless of orders. She was hatched at the same time as Charlie, but because she hatched first she pretends to be the "older sister", bossing him around and generally making a nuisance of herself whenever Alex tries to train him. Ability: Torrent Speciality: Due to her pride, Pippi is unaffected by fear-inducing effets (i.e. Leer, Growl, Scary Face); however, she is particularly vulnerable to those that play on her pride (Taunt, Swagger, etc.). Known Moves: Mud Sport (egg move), Icy Wind (egg move), Aqua Ring (egg move), Pound, Bubble, Peck Experience: 6 Amanda Zarth Profile Username: Flipz Name: Amanda Zarth Gender: Female Faction: Team Plasma Hometown: Unknown (adopted hometown: Undella Town) Age: 26 Appearance: Clean-cut, to an almost mechanical degree. Short, slightly androgynous haircut (black hair). Pierced ears, wears small, unobtrusive stud earrings. Ordinary white button-up with slightly lacy collar and mid-length sleeves, in warmer weather a v-neck t-shirt instead, revealing a clean pendant necklace with a small iridescent stone. In either case, also a simple black vest with gray stitching. For legs, either a black trouser skirt or dark gray slacks depending on weather. Personality: Clean-cut, to an almost mechanical degree. An eternal analyst, her mind for logic and data has made her an invaluable asset for the insurance firms she's worked for. Has no emotional attachment to the war or any of the recent events in the world, observing them with as Analytic an eye as possible. Background: Discovered washed up on the beach in Undella Town in Unova, with no memory of her past or her identity, Amanda Zarth was adopted by a wealthy family of the business world and learned their ways with rapid efficency. Since leaving home, she has traveled repeatedly between Unova and Johto as a foreign representative of her organization's affairs in that realm. Equipment: Custom-fitted briefcase, deluxe Xtransciever (larger screen, more akin to tablet than smartphone), registered user of Psychic-type Power Suit Pokémon: Porygon, Elgyem, Magnezone Powers (Psionics): Teleportation, ESP, Synchronization, Telepathy, Barrier Species: Magnezone Nickname: <none> Gender: <genderless> Trainer: Amanda Zarth Appearance: An ordinary Magnezone in every way except one: its eyes are violet, just like its trainer's. Now bears a burn scar on its underside from the events of the One Island mission against M0. Personality: Though robotic and mechanical in its moves like Amanda's other Pokemon, Magnezone seems to be the slightest bit protective of her. It seems to be more aware than it lets on. Ability: Levitate Speciality: Though unusually slow even for a Magnezone, having experienced Mega Evolution due to its extreme bond with its Trainer, it now channels a small portion of that power back into its regular form through retaining the Levitate ability, though it has lost Analytic as a result. Known Moves: Light Screen, Flash Cannon, Lock-On, Zap Cannon, Discharge, Tri Attack Experience: 23 NOTE: due to use of a special reward, Magnezone can Mega Evolve despite lacking the experience prerequisite Mega Appearance: Mega Magnezone's body is split into three segments, its powerful magnetic fields enough to Levitate it even at a distance. The burn scar on its underside still remains, now extending backward from the underside of its mandible, its amethyst eyes sparkling with an almost human intelligence and power. Mega Ability: Levitate (Mega Magnezone standard) Mega Specialty: Due to the inherent connection between Amanda and her Magnezone, it is able to access and use Amanda's psychic powers while Mega Evolved, though if both attempt to use a different psychic power at the same time (i.e. Amanda tries Barrier while Mega Magnezone tries Teleport during the same "turn") both uses of the power will fail. Species: Porygon Nickname: <none> Gender: <genderless> Trainer: Amanda Zarth Appearance: An ordinary Porygon in every way. Personality: Robotic and mechanical in its moves and battling, Porygon shows as little personality as its Trainer. Ability: Trace Speciality: In addition to its normal abilities, this Porygon has been designed with knowledge of hacking and encryption, allowing for secure transmission of messages and programs to almost any computer. Known Moves: Conversion, Conversion2, Sharpen, Discharge, Magic Coat, Signal Beam Experience: 4 Species: Elgyem Nickname: <none> Gender: Female? Trainer: Amanda Zarth Appearance: An ordinary Elgyem in every way. Personality: Quiet and mechanical, one would be forgiven for mistaking it for a robot. Elgyem shows as little personalirt as her(?) Trainer. Ability: Telepathy Speciality: Elgyem is absurdly good at prediction and evasion, but is extremely frail and will be knocked out by almost any hit. Known Moves: Ally Switch (egg move), Teleport (egg move), Heal Block, Confusion, Hidden Power (Fire), Imprison Experience: 7 Amelia Zann: Profile Username: Flipz Name: Amelia Zann Gender: Female Faction: N/A Hometown: Unknown (adopted hometown: none) Age: 24 Appearance: Red hair with green eyes and extremely pale skin. Prepped for action, nearly always wears a black semi-turtleneck and a harness bedecked with pockets and gadgets. Eschews cargo pants in favor of yoga pants (for greater flexibility and ease of movement). When she's in a definitely social context, however, she's much girlier--anything from a prarie skirt to jeans, from a blouse to a tank-top, from boots to heels to sneakers to ballerina slippers, anything's fair game. Jewelery-wise, she'll occasionally wear a charm bracelet (sometimes as an anklet), but that's it. Personality: Bubbly, excitable, and chronically unable to keep a straight face, the word that best describes Amelia is "driven". Or perhaps "stubborn"--this is one girl who's not afraid to speak her mind, and she sticks to her guns no matter what. Background: Though known as a mercenary and spy for hire, Amelia's background is pretty much unknown, even to her. She blames her amnesia on an accident during one of her early missions, but the truth is even she doesn't know why she doesn't remember--and what she doesn't know CAN hurt her... It's more recently been revealed Equipment: Gun, PokéNav, Umbreon-themed dress (designed by Valerie) Pokémon: Carvanha, Larvitar, Sneasel, Murkrow Species: Carvanha Nickname: Van Gender: Female Trainer: Amelia Zann Appearance: It's shiny. Other than that, nothing in particular. Personality: Unusually aggressive for a female of its species, Van was mistaken for a male when it was caught. Amelia's first acquisition in the Hoenn realm. Ability: Speed Boost Speciality: Very good at using physical attacks, particularly biting ones; with the exception of Surf and Dive (and even then, not very well), is incapable of using special attacks. Known Moves: Bite, Ice Fang, Scary Face, Leer, Swagger, Aqua Jet Experience: 1 Species: Larvitar Nickname: Harvey Gender: Male Trainer: Amelia Zann Appearance: At this stage, it appears shiny. Seems to constantly be smirking. Personality: Both lazy and shy, Larvitar seems a poor choice for battle; however, this isn't due to laziness, but rather an extremely short attention span, causing him to get bored even in the midst of fierce battle. He has been known to deliberately miss moves and take hits just to make the fight more interesting. Ability: Guts Speciality: Surprisingly fast for a Larvitar, it's able to stand still as stone when needed. Unfortunately, between its attitude and its abilities, it tends to take a lot of hits that would otherwise miss (and doesn't take them particularly well). Known Moves: Stealth Rock (egg move), Pursuit (egg move), Bite, Rock Slide, Sandstorm, Outrage (egg move) Experience: 2 Species: Sneasel Nickname: Sina Gender: Female? Trainer: Amelia Zann Appearance: A shiny Sneazel, which one would generally think to be a problem for a Pokemon used for speed and stealth. Somehow, however, it always manages to blend in. Also, despite being female, it has the large ears associated with its male form. Personality: Unusually humanlike for a Pokemon, Sneasel is versed in (some would even say prodigous at) the use of makeup and prosthetics--a master of disguise. Close examination reveals the lie pretty quickly, of course--but a second's glance is all you're going to get at this one. Ability: Pickpocket Speciality: As mentioned above, can use improvised makeup and costumes to (sloppily) disguise its appearance. They don't stand up to scrutiny (at all), but it's enough to be able to, say, walk across a street without being noticed by anyone not specifically looking for her. Known Moves: Pursuit (egg move), Quick Attack, Hone Claws, Beat Up, Ice Shard, Icicle Crash Experience: 4 Species: Murkrow Nickname: Qrow Gender: Female Trainer: Amelia Zann Appearance: Carries its shiny coloration, though the violet is dark enough that it's often mistaken for black. Personality: Though prideful and mischevious like most Murkrow, this particular one prefers the company of wild Pokémon to that of trained Pokémon and humans--with a few very specific suggestions. Especially distrusts scientists. Is also very Careful. Ability: Prankster Speciality: Exceptionally skilled with use of Drill Peck, despite its overall lack of experience. Its signature move. Known Moves: Tailwind, Torment, Mean Look, Taunt, Roost (egg move), Drill Peck (egg move) (egg moves from Fearow) Experience: 5 Alex Zyther: Profile Username: Flipz Name: Alex Zyther Gender: Male? Faction: N/A Hometown: Geosenge Town (adopted hometown: Camphrier Town, Shabboneau Castle) Age: 20 Appearance: Thin, drawn, and sickly. Barely able to walk unassisted, owns a pair of canes with arm clamps to help him keep his balance. His Pokemon are usually outside their Pokeballs, helping to support him or being ready to catch him--one of them carries his Bag for him, though he still throws his Pokeballs himself through a cartridge clipped to one of his canes. Blonde-haired and blue-eyed like many of Kalosian stock, though true connoisseurs of fashion might recognize the telltale signs of a cheap dye job, likely the result of a rush job--or more likely, an impatient client. Outfit: "Striped shirt combo aqua", shorts in the style of "damaged jeans", "purple socks", "blue sneakers", "artificial flower pin aqua" as shown in the Serebii pic (i.e. on a generic gray female-style hat). Personality: A sweet, gentle soul who only wants to help others and bond with his Pokemon. Not a huge fan of battling, his Pokemon generally only tend to level up due to supporting other Pokemon in multi-battles. Since he is so often left helpless, the immense waiting he often has to endure has left him with little patience to spare, often causing him to rush into situations without thinking or planning ahead, while the delicacy with which he's often treated leaves him somewhat unwilling to accept assistance, even when it's clearly merited. Background: Discovered at age 15 on the outskirts of Geosenge town, Alex was taken in by Cassie Mikazuki, who soon married into the Zyther family. Despite his adoptive family's concerns about his health, he wanted to travel, so they sent him to Kanto to meet his adoptive mother's family for the first time... Equipment: Azumarill-themed outfit with shorts and skirt variants (designed by Valerie) Pokémon: Blissey, Eevee, Dedenne, Ralts Species: Blissey Nickname: Bliss (also answers to "Blissie") Gender: Female Trainer: Alex Zyther Appearance: Due to constantly carrying Alex's Bag, Bliss has a pair of diagonal stripes across her body--tan lines, of a sort. Personality: Protective and motherly, Bliss helps keep Alex's other Pokemon focused and happy, as well as assisting him in his daily life. She's essentially Alex's "seeing-eye Blissey", even though he's not blind (though he is naive). Ability: Serene Grace Speciality: Blissey has extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs, plants, and Berries, due to her time spent caring for Alex. Due to his reliance on her, however, she is extremely reluctant to enter battle, to the point that she will refuse unless both of his other Pokemon have demonstrated that her help is truly needed. Known Moves: Soft-Boiled, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell (egg move), Metronome (egg move), Sing, Helping Hand (egg move) (egg moves from Clefairy) Experience: 18 Species: Eevee Nickname: Sylph Gender: Male Trainer: Alex Zyther Appearance: An ordinary Eevee, but he has been decorated with many bows and ribbons. It's clear what Eeveelution Alex would like him to evolve into. Sylph will also sometimes wear Alex's spare hat. Personality: A carefree sort, Sylvia would rather play than fight. Ability: Run Away Speciality: Sylph is so adorable that almost everyone finds it difficult to attack him (the Puss-in-Boots phenomenon). This is good, because Sylph is both weak and frail in battle due to lack of training--he's mainly used for support. Known Moves: Wish (egg move), Helping Hand, Baton Pass, Baby-Doll Eyes, Swift, Follow Me (GM approved) (egg moves from Skitty) Experience: 3 Species: Dedenne Nickname: Didi Gender: Female Trainer: Alex Zyther Appearance: An ordinary Dedenne with much brighter cheeks than normal. Didi maintains a bit of a glow from this, even in the dark. Personality: A bit of a cuddler, Didi sometimes forgets she's electrically charged. Originally belonging to Alex's adoptive mother, she gave Didi to Alex to make sure he's protected and safe, and she takes that role very seriously. Ability: Pickup Speciality: Didi glows in dark places, providing light and, if sufficiently agitated, growing bright enough to temporarily blind opponents. Her high-pitched squeals and glowing, however, make her difficult to conceal--even her Pokeball glows while she is inside it. Known Moves: Charm, Nuzzle, volt Switch, Parabolic Charge, Helping Hand (egg move), Dazzling Gleam (GM approved) Experience: 3 Species: Ralts Nickname: Raleigh Gender: Male Trainer: Alex Zyther Appearance: As a Pokémon that has presented himself to Amelia Zann, Raleigh is Shiny; in addition, however, the red spike on his chest from his later evolutions seems to have manifested early, though instead of a spike it is mostly flattened and bears a resemblance to a bow tie. Personality: Proud and poised, Raleigh is every bit the distinguished gentleman any Kalosian noble could ask for--but sadly as a male Ralts, most Kalosian nobles seemed to seek more physically proficient partners and planned to procure a future Gallade, and even the residents of Hoenn preferred power over poise. Raleigh longs for a Trainer who will appreciate him for his own strengths, on his own terms. Ability: Trace Specialty: Raleigh is a skilled singer (at least in the language of Pokémon), and this shows in the strength and speed of his sound-based moves. However, as a gentleman, Raleigh refuses to use physical attacks, and as a result he is unable to use them (though Psyshock is theoretically fine). Known Moves: Teleport, Magical Leaf, Heal Pulse, Synchronoise (egg move), Skill Swap (egg move), Disarming Voice Experience: 2 Species: Diancie Nickname: Coralie Gender: Female Trainer: Alex Zyther Appearance: As an immature juvenile, she currently appears to be an unusually tall Carbink with pink crystals and red eyes, and a single small ponytail-like crystal just starting to emerge from the back of her head. Personality: Just as shy and Naive as Alex, Diancie was first drawn to the Trainer by their similarities. Despite this, however, she possesses a hidden steel to her core, as despite her physical insecurity she is willing to leave her own kingdom to try and carry on its legacy. Ability: Clear Body Specialty: Due to her juvenile state, Diancie's attacks are all weak and unpolished and fail to make full use of her inner strength; however, despite this there is clear power to her potential, and she will likely benefit greatly by learning from her current struggles. Known Moves: Moonblast (imperfect), Diamond Storm (feeble), Stealth Rock, Trick Room, Light Screen, Reflect Experience: 0 Player reward points: 5 lifetime earned (1 spent [Psychic enabler for Amanda]) (1x 5th anniversary, 1x Wiki Template reward, 2 as of Reward Points Reset of 2017, 1x Anniversary April 2017, 1x Christmas 2017, 1x Anniversary 2018) Special rewards: Motto Contest prize (spent), Halloween Short Story Contest 2017 prize (spent)

Eh, just catch Xerneas and have eternal life.

Oh, thanks! Enjoy your 3IV Chandelure Litwick, then. (It would have been more, but the Day Care guy doesn't seem to want to give me eggs. :/ )

You show up on my friends list as "provisionally registered"--your FC is 5000-2549-9984, yes? Yes. I've added you now, sorry. Keeping track of all these numbers is difficult. Anyway, I'll be online for a while. (IGN is Anshin'in) Cool. I'll breed and send back to you.

I really, really need a No Guard Golett/Golurk. Please, if anyone can help, please do.

I just need a Wikia account for that chat, right? There's no minimum number of edits or anything?

Still looking for a female Frillish in a Dive Ball for my competitive team. Again, just need the species and the Pokeball--everything else I can handle myself. (I don't have B/W/2, so I really do need the help...)

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with allowing Bank to work even after B/W/2 are no longer "officially" supported (i.e. the way the Gen III and IV games are technically not supported anymore AFAIK). It's one of those stupid legal things that companies have to do to protect themselves from lawyer-wielding fools. :/ EDIT: Really? Really? C'mon, man... :/

I was able to transfer all my pokemon I wanted over in about 2 minutes. then again, you probably had more then 1 box worth. Why would you want to teach smeargle false swipe with a different name? Animation? It's also less useless on Smeargle, since it at least gets STAB (admittedly, I'm not sure how the differing Attack stats might come into play, but then again who's actually going to use an event legend to go out and catch wild Pokemon? ). Anyway, I'm in the market for a female Frillish/Jellicent (any Nature, any IVs, any Ability) in a Dive Ball and/or a female Misdreavus in a Dusk Ball (again, any Nature or IVs, and any 'mon in the line will do). I have a few spare Timid Prankster Sableye in Dusk Balls, they aren't perfect IV-wise but they're decent (one female with relatively superior IVs with a perfect in Speed and a male with "above average" but perfect IVs in Defense and Speed). I can also breed HA Noibat and Gabite in Luxury Balls, if that floats your boat, and now that I have a few Dittos and some time I'm willing to try my hand at IV-breeding them.
